Farbod Barsum Handbags & Accessories

*This is a sponsored post. All opinions are my own. Thanks for supporting those who support Chow Down USA!

Many of you may remember my post on 10 reasons accessories are underrated. From instantly upgrading an outfit, to expressing your creativity and personal style, handbags and other accessories are the cherries on top of any wardrobe.

I'm all about affordable fashion, accented by a few high-quality investment pieces, and Farbod Barsum is the perfect investment for handbags and accessories!

Based in Beverly Hills, Farbod Barsum makes all of their gorgeous exotic handbags in the U.S., which is so important in a world of fast fashion where you're not sure what country has created the items you're wearing, what the conditions were in the factory, or what the workers were paid. Each piece by Farbod Barsum is handmade by master artisans in the U.S., so the manufacturing conditions are guilt-free.

Farbod Barsum specializes in high-quality handbags and accessories, and uses bold color blocking which is all the rage this season. They are also known for mixing different exotics in their collection, such as ostrich purses and genuine snakeskin handbags.

Countless celebrities have been seen sporting their pieces on the red carpet, so you know they're in style!

Sarah Paulson, American Horror Story

Cindy Crawford

Portia Doubleday, Mr. Robot

Whitney Port, The Hills

Brittany Snow, John Tucker Must Die & Pitch Perfect

Nicole Scherzinger

Mena Suvari

Christina Hendricks, Mad Men

I'm especially swooning over Bridgette, the white clutch encrusted with Swarovski crystals, and the turquoise 5-pocket card case which would probably be worth more than all of the cards I put in it!

You can really tell how gorgeous and stylish each piece is, and the collection is entirely unique from other handbag lines. Farbod Barsum really allows you to have fun while showing off your personal style. These pieces would honestly be the perfect gift for any fashionista.
